This Company is formed for the purpose of constructing a Railway from Ch asso to "Itasca in the Canton of Tessin, Switzer:and, with the design of extending the line to Lucerne, by the Alpine Pass of the St. Gothard, or to Coire by the Pass of the Lnckmanier. The line now to be made from Chias o to Bitica :s indis pensable to either of these routes, it being the only line al lowed by the Swiss Government to connect the rat ways of North Italy, the line being comparatively easy of construe- Roe, free from costly works, and promising a large traffic. The Company has, however, secured from the Canton Tessin, bes des the Concession of the line from Chiasso to Blasco, the preferential right to construct the extension of their line to any junction with the system of railways of Central Europe, whether at Lucerne or at Coire, and this peculiarly advantageous condition forms a very important feature of the present enterprise. A reference to the accompanying Map will show the great importance and value of th s undertaking. The whole N o!th and Centre of Europe are intersected by rat ways, uniting France, Belgium, Rolland, Prussia, Russia, North and south Germ muy, &,.; and this vast system terminates southwards 't two points in Switzerland—at Lucerne and at Coire. In Southern Europe another vast ne -work of railways spreads throughout Ita y, but ceases northwards at Como, near Chiasso, and at the Lake Maggiore. The line proposed by this Company will, with the contem plated extension, effect a junction between the two systems tong required by the commerce of Europe, and supply an un broken chain of railway transit, connecting the whole Euro pean Contin nt, North, South, East, and West. The country has been surveyed by experienced engineers, ant the passes referred to have been found prat is ,ble for a ra lway. State subventions to a very cOriteiderable amount have been voted in aid oft e pnpased Alpine Railway, which is AC know ed. ed to be of the hit: hest national importance to both witzerl t d and Italy. Negotiations are now pend ng for the settlement of the subvention and contribut ons to be se cured to this Company by the Government of the Swiss Can tons, the Swiss Fed ral, and the I alien Governments, and sever .1 adjoin ng railway companies, for the extension of the line. The resu tof these negotiations wil determine which of the two Al pi e passes will be adopted. A railway across the Central Swiss Alps is an object of great , tnd special importance tt the commerce and prosperity of Switzerland, as well as of Italy and South Germany, which latter countries will be thereby brought into proximity and direct intercommunication. The norts of Genoa, Leghorn, and Ancona will be able to interchange supp'ies with South Germany with gr-at mutual attrantage—a trade from which they are now excluded. The lines proposed in connection with this Company, when comp eted, will carry to it a traffic which, for m _gnitude and importance, will surpass that of many of the best continental railways. Estimates of traffic have been prepared from rellabte sources, and their results are of a highly eneoura big' character. By the completion bi these lines, another desideratum, directly affecting postal communications and British com merce, will be attained. The Over and Route to India and China has become a subj ct of great and increasing interest to England, and the means of rendering the journey more easy and rapid is cf incalculable value. The lines proposed by this Company (including the extension , , will fill up the break existing between Brindisi in the south of Italy and the English Channel, and form an uninterruptedline of rail way between the Mediterranean and England, across the Centre of Europe, so soon as the short line of about four miles between Camerlata end Chlasso is comp), ted. The distance between the South Coast of Ita'y and A'cx andria is about 800 English miles shorter than that between Marseilles and Alexandria, and the consequent say.ng of three days of sea navigration in the route to lnda and China must make Brindisi the future landing stage for the India mails and passengers. A vote Of 6.000,000 francs was pas ed on the 23d of July last by the Italian Chamber of Deputies, and has been since confirmed by the Senate, for the adaptation of the port of Brindisi to the requirements of the India and China trade. The advantages of this new route are so evident, that this Comnany will undoubtedly secure their share of whatever benefit the carriage of +he Overland India traffic may offer. As the line trona Chias o to Biasca, which is intended to lice the Lombardo-Venetian lines, will open a direct com munication b tween the most important towns of the Canton Tessin and the railway network of Italy, connecting also the three Lakes of Como, Lucrano, and Maggiore. and as it forms the key of the whole po , ition. the Directors have reso ved to commence this line iorthwith, pending the surveys and ne gotiations for determining the precise Alpine Pass to be finally adopted for the extension. Responsible contrac ors have undertaken to construct and complete the line for a sum within the amount of capital ; and the works were commenced on the 18th of January, inthe presence of Government officials. Interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum will be paid to Shareholders during construction, upon the amounts from time to time paid in respect of the r shares. A preference will be given to the members of this Company in the al otment of Shares for any additional capital that may be required for msking the Extension Line, the con struction of which will be commenced when the negotiations with the Swiss and Italian Governments shall have been completed. The Memorandum and Articles of Association, and a trans lation of the Concession, lie for inspection at the Temporary Offices of the Company. Applications for Shares must be addressed in the annexed form, to the Directors, and conies of the ProspeAus may be obtained at the Tempor,•ry Offices ef the Company, or at the Offices of the Financial Corp ration (Limited), 14, Leaden ; the Brokers and Solicitor s ; but no application will be con-idered unless a Deposit of 11 per Share on the number of Shares applied for has been paid.

In the very disagreeable and false 'ty - Position of a Government in a minori. j , existing only through the discord and differences of their opponents. (Laughter.) It is impossible that the Government of this country can be properly carried on by a government in a minority; but no true friend of the Conservative cause can wish that any precipitate measure should be taken to force on a contest for which they are every day beceming better and better prepared, and in which the object is not so much to win quickly as to win surely and safely. (Hear, hear, and applause.) There are questions, as I said just now, which it is most im portant should be settled, and settled at once, for they are dangerous questions if they are left open. Questions of domestic policy, as regard the relations of the Church and State, and 4uestions of foreign policy—questions especially affecting the great in terests of our country—press for a decision—ques tions with which this Government is unab:e to grapple because of the fundamental differences of opinion which exist among its members—questions which it is most important we should have the power to settle by a majority of the Conservative members of Parliament. (Hear, hear, and ap plause.) Therefore, I trust it will be found, when the trial comes, that the constituencies of the coun try will rally round the Conservative candidates at every hustings, and will return to Parliament men able and willing to deal with those questions in a spirit of liberal intelligence, and, at the same time, of true and sound Conservatism. (Loud and pro longed cheering.) PRICE .4d. STAMPED'....Sd. they mounted to run their tilt against Lord Derby's Government. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) What has become of the great battle-horse now ? Why it has been turned cut to grass. (Roars of laughter.) If its services should be again found useful it may, perhaps, be taken up again. But at present all he has to do is to " rest and be thankful." (Continued laughter.) There is their Church policy. (Hear.) Will any one tell us what the Church policy of the present adminis tration is ? It seems to be summed up in this—that they think something ought to be done, but what it is they do not know. (Laud cheers and laughter.) They have nothing themselves to propose, and when questions of difficulty are proposed by others we find one minister voting and speaking one way, another minister voting and speaking another way, a third conveniently absent, and a fourth pairing with somebody who is ill at Florence—(applause and great laughter) ; and yet never was there a time in which Church policy and the questions—the great pestions—in reference to the connection of the Church and the State deserved more anxious con sideration than now—(bear, hear) ; and never, I will venture to say, was there a time at which a ministry possessed the advantages which the pre sent ministry possessed. Never has a ministry had a fairer or better opportunity of coming forward end proposing a satisfactory settlement of questions which it is dangerous to leave unsolved. (Hear, and applause.) When we, by the energy of our party and at the beck of our leader, had succeeded in con vertingea,majority of 70 to a majority in our favour, by the casting vote of the peaker, then was the time when the Government, if it was really inte rested—and it ought to have been—in settling the great question of church rates, which so vitally affects the connection between Church and State ; then was the time when the Government might have come forward with some well-considered, well planned, and moderate measere for the settlement of the difficulty—(hear, hear) ; the best of their own supporters were anxious it should be done—(hear) ; the best of their own supporters were urging a set tlement of some kind, and such an opportunity pro bably as no Government had ever had before was offered to them, but it was thrown aside because they knew not how to avail themselves of it. (Hear, hear, and applause.) Well, gentlemen, such is the position in which they stand with regard to domestic matters ; but perhaps it may be said we did not think very much of their domestic policy. (Laughter.) We did not think much of their sin cerity about reform, and we never had a great opinion of them as Churchmen—(loud laughter)— but there was one subject upon which they were truly great—(ironical cheers)—there was one point on which they were always able to take the advans tage of us, and that was their foreign policy. (Laughter and ironical cheers.) It was their foreign policy which was flaunted in our faces at every turn. When we ventured to criticise their policy in domestic affairs we were told that they were, of all men, the only men who could at once maintain the honour of this country and settle the affairs of the world. (Laughter.) They were possessed, if you would believe them and their organs, of a marvellous secret, of a patent invention, by which they were to settle the affairs of Europe without any expenditure of blood or of treasure on the part of England. (Hear, hear, and renewed cheers.) They were in the happy position of possessing what we may con sider the universal medicine of England's moral influence—(laughter)—and never was there a patent medicine of Mr. Holloway's that was more puffed or more vaunted than this moral influence of which they were so proud. (Continued laughter.) Testi monials came from enry part of the world as to its utility. (Renewed laughter.) The great cause was Italy. We know what they did for Italy—(hear, hear)—we know it was they who gave to Victor Emmanuel Lombardy and the Duchies—(continued cheers)—we know it was they who gave to him Naples and Sicily—(oh, ob)—and if be had not yet got Rome and Venice, all that was neces sary to ensure his gaining those desirable pos seesiens was that the people of Englmnd should stand firm by the present Government, and keep Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell in office till he got them. (Roars of laughter.) The moral influence of England at first went up into the air like a bubble, and in the sunshine it re flected all the colours of the rainbow, but, un fortunately of late the bubble has burst, and we find ourselves in rather an unpleasant position with re gard to continental affairs. (Hear, hear.) The moral influence of England was tried in the settlement of the affairs of Poland and Denmark, and the result is that the name . of England is at this moment a bye-word and a reproach among foreign nations. (Hear, and cheers.) That is what we have gained by the use of the moral influence of England— (applause)—and that is the point upon which the Government will have to answer to the country. (Hear, and cheers.) Now, observe the way in which they disguise the question that is raised and the false issue upon which their organs put the ques tion. (Hear, hear.) They say that those who object to the manner in which they have introduced the name of England into these contests that have been going on, that those who fled fault with them for the disgrace which we say they have brought upon that name, are the advocates of war, and that they are the opponents of the peaceful policy of the Government. Never was an issue joined so falsely, never was there a case in which there was a more dishonest attempt to evade the real question at issue. (Hear, and applause.) What we blamed them for was not for having kept the peace, not for having endeavoured to bring these matters to a pacific settlement—(hear) —but we blamed them for two things. We blamed them because they so mis managed their diplomatic relations with the coun tries of Europe, and allowed a question which ought to have been, and which might have been settled by peaceful and diplomatic means, to come to an open rupture which they ought to have prevented— (applause)—and we blamed them for having made use of bold language, and loud language. and threatening language, without any occasion to do so, or without any intention of following it up. (Cheers.) It is that discrepancy, the employment of threatening language, which they knew they were not prepared to follow up, which has brought us into the position in which we not stand. (Hear, hear, and loud applause.) You know it is impossible that these matters can at pre sent be discussed in Parliament as the country might have wished they should be, because we are all anxious that these foreign affairs should be brought to the best and most peaceful settlement of which they could admit. (Hear, bear.) But so long as there is hope, the slightest hope, even at this the eleventh hour, of a peaceful s ettlement being in any way brought about, we are unwilling on our part to disturb it by provoking a debate or intro ducing any new complicatio ns. (Hears hear.) But the time will come, whether in the form of a debate in the House of Commons or not I do not know, but it will certainly come , w hen upon the hustings of England, and before the electoral tribunals of Eng . land, the Government will have to render an ac count of the way in Which they have thrown away the influence of England, and for having brought her name into di sre p ute amon g st the na t ions of the wfoorrldth—a heers) and ' gentlemen, speak inge party, I will venture to s ay that we care not how soon the time may come. Conservative c (Hear, hear, and enthusiastic applause.) We know that it cannot be longer off than nest year; it is probable it may be even this year—(bear)—but whenever it does come I feel sure the Conservative people of this country will rally round their eten dard—that there will be no flinching, no disunion, no personal jealousies that will be allowed to stand in the way—(cheers)—and if the results of the general election should be such as the results of the recent elections have latterly given us some reason to hope, you party in this then see that the C o n ser vative country will be placed in a position The Loss of the City of New York, (From the Cork Examiner.) QUEENSTOWN, March 29. The first serious accident which has befallen the American steazneravunning to and-from this port occurred this morn- _ ing. The City of New York, after a splendid passage from New York, struck upon Daunt's Rock as she was entering the harbour, and great fears are entertained that she will be come a total wreck. Fortunately, the accident has not been attended by loss of life. The ship ran right on the centre of the ridge of rocks and remained firmly seated on it, so that no immediate danger to the passengers rose. The weather was exceedingly favourable. Had the ship struck on one of the ledges of the rock, there is every reason to believe that the mishap would have been fraught with the most lament able consequences. The particulars of the unfortunate oc currence are these :—The ship had an extraordinary fine passage across. Her average rate of speed was up to 300 miles a day; before 2 o'clock this morning she sighted the harbour, and, as the weather was exceedingly clear, she was kept going at the rate of 14 miles an hour as she ap proached it. The moon was shining brightly at the time, the wind was north-west—that is, blowing off the land, and it is stated that Captain Kennedy, in order to keep the wind ward of the rock, in coming in, took the inner passage, the breadth of which is about three-quarters of a mile. All was going on fairly when at 2 40 or so the ship run with a loud crash right upon the centre of Daunt's Rock. The concus sion shook all the passengers who had retired to sleep. It is described as resembling a series of shocks, and the ship seemed literally to drive over ledge after ledge as impelled at almost full speed she dashed upon the rock, The water rushed into her compartments in immense volumes, and in a very short time it had risen to the level of the sea. A scene of the greatest confusion ensued; the passengers, some halt dressed, others as they had risen from sleep, rushed about not knowing the extent of their danger, but thinking from the terrible shook that the ship received that she would go down on the instant. All attempts to move her in any way wore out of the question, for in a few minutes after she struck the water had put out the engine fires, and was still rising. The only thing that could be done was to put out the boats and obtain assistance from shore. A num ber of blue lights were thrown up, and signal guns were fired incessantly. Aid from shore did not, however, reach the vessel until about half-past 4 o'clock. About 20 minutes to 3 o'clock the tug boat, which meets the steamer to receive the mails and passengers, left Queenstown, the City of New York having been at that time signalled, and proceeded out as far as Roche's Point. It waited there for some time, until some of the ship's signal guns were heard, and then, surmising that an accident must have occurred, the tug boat proceeded. Oa getting a little further out, the City of Now York was found fairly placed upon the rock, with bfir hood turned towards Queenstown, within about ten feet of the Daunt's Rock Buoy. The tug boat was immediately got alongside, and, under the direction of Captain Kennedy, the mails and as many of the passengers as possible were put on board. There were 78 cabin and 75 steerage passengers on board the ship, besides the crew, which numbers about 120 men. Intelligence of the accident was immediately despatched to Queenstown, and steps were promptly taken to render all the aid which could be given. The Admiral of the port was com municated with, and he at once sent out her 3.l , ljesty's ships Advice and Magpie. The Jackal', the Canard Com • pany's tender the Arran Castle, the Brunel, and the Robert Bruce, tug boats, also proceeded out. The passengers' lug gage was got out as soon as possible, and put on board the tugs, and steps were taken to lighten the ship by removing as much of the cargo as could be come at. These operations are being continued up to the present. It was dead ebb when the ship struck. The tide now passing, and it is not known what the effect of this will be on the ship, It is feared that she may lurch over into the deep water at the other side, in that case, being iron built, she would be com pletely lost. The steamers named above are still by her. DAITNT'S ROCK, Noon. The City of New York is in the same position. The Ad miralty and Cunard Company's are operating with other tugs in lightening her. The foremast is uninjured, and rests upon a part of the rock. The injury is reported to be amid ships, where the rock has penetrated through her starboard bunkers. She fills with the flood tide to her main deck, Wind now blowing fresh. ROCHE'S POINT, 1 35 p.m. The City of New York is now stripped of her top gallantmasts and yards, mizen topsailyard, with fore topsail. Two of her Majesty's gunboats, in addition to those already in attendance, have arrived at the scene of the disaster. _ .

After the usual loyal toasts had been duly honoured, In responding to the toast of "Mr, Disraeli and the House of Commons," Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE, Bart., M.P., who was greeted with the most enthusiastic cheers, again and again renewed, said,—Mr. President, Vice President, and Gentlemen,—lt is no light burden, I can assure you that any one takes upon himself, when he undertakes the task of responding to "The House of Commons;" and, let me add, that you will not make the task the easier, and my friend Mr. Barnes has not made my task the easier, by the warmth of the reception which you have so kindly given to me, and by the contrast which you make me so painfully feel between my own merits and those which your own kindness has been so good as to attribute to me. I can assure you that, warm as my affections are for the county of Devon and the city of Exeter, and rejoicing as I do now to stand before so large an assemblage of my Con servative fellow-citizens, I shall not be wanting in the best endeavour I can make to express my grati tude for the distinguished honour you have done me in associating my name with the toast just pro posed—(hear)—and, gentlemen, if I have no other excuse for intruding myself upon yon, I have at least this, that I was charged (as Mr. Barnes told you) with the commission to invite my friend and our leader in the House of Commons, Mr. Disraeli, ii by possibility he could spare the time for a visit to Devonshire in the Easter holidays to be present this day. I executed that commission, and I have now a note from Mr. Disraeli, a few words from which I shall, perhaps, be allowed to read. (Ap plause.) It is a private note, but there is a passage which, referring to this invitation, says, "It had been my intention of responding more fully and formally, but let me say, I am very sensible of the honour they have done me. I must return to Hughendon, which under any circumstances will render my acceptance of the invitation impossible. I have heard before of their great efforts and equal hopes, the first cannot be too much praised, and the latter I feel will be triumphant." (Loud applause.) Mr. Disraeli is what his enemies call a sanguine man—(laughter)—and what his friends call a man of great courage, and there is no man who is better justified than he is in anticipating the triumph of the cause with which he is connected, for there is no man who has done so much, who has fought so gal lantly, and under such difficult circumstances, to bring that cause into that proud position in which it at present stands. (Cheers.) I cannot forget that five years ago, or a little less, when this Par liament had just been called together—a Parliament called together under the auspices of the Conserva tive Government which he represented in the House of Commons—its first act was to pass a vote of cen sure upon the Government, and to expel it from office. (Hear, bear.) I remember well how gloomy the prospects of the party then appeared, because at that moment we were a beaten party, and saw gathering against us all the strength, all the expe rience, all the weight of the House of Commons ex cept that which was to be found in our own imme• diate ranks. We saw men of different shades of politics all bending together against us, and the most formidable array of talent concentrated upon the seats of the Treasury Bench that had ever sat there since the earliest days, I sup pose, of the House of Commons, and it was at that time the feeling of no inconsiderable number of the members of the House of Commons that the day of the Conservative party had gone by, and that the section of it, at all events, which was represented by Lord Derby and Mc. Disraeli might bid a long farewell to the position which they had hoped to hold ; but, gentlemen, Mr. Disraeli is one of those men who are so English that they know not what it is to be beaten. (Hear, and applause.) . He took courage and rallied his forces—(hear, hear) —and I think we may now turn back, and, looking over the events of bygone years, say that he has met his reward. (Loud cheers.) The difference between the position which the Conservative party holds in the House of Commons now from that which it held five years ago is not to be measured merely by the difference in its numbers. We have, it is true, gained a certain number of seats, hut that is far from representing the whole of the case. (Hear, hear.) What we have most gained is in the tone and the spirit which animate our party. (Hear, and applause.) When questions of public impor tance are raised—when such questions for instance as church rates and others are brought before the House of Commons, we were in minorities of 60, of 70, of 80, but i we determined not to consider our selves beaten. (Hear, and applause.) We rallied to fight again and again, and to fight a losing game run a losing race—until at last we had con• verted it into a winning one. (Tremendous cheers.) In proportion as the Conservative power in the House of Commons has gained so has the Ministe rial power declined. I know nothing more remark• able than the declension which has come over the Ministerial party in the House of Commons since the year 1859. (Hear, hear.) It is a subject upon which it is impossible to speak without some feel ings of pain. It is impossible not to feel that there h a ve been losses which have been sustained, not by the Ministerial party, but through them, and in their ranks, by the whole country. (Hear.) It was impossible not to feel that men have been carried off in the prime of life to whom we all, of whatever party and whatever sentiments we were supposed to be, looked with pride and respect. (Hear, hear,) And it is impos sible not to feel, when we look at the manner in w hi c h those places have been filled up, and when we see that the seats on the Treasury bench for merly oc cupied by Mr. Sidney Herbert and Sir George Cornewall Lewis are now occupied by men of far inferior position and in whom we can repose far less confidence —it is impossible, I say, but to feel that in pro portion as the Conservatives have gained power so the Ministerial party have lost it. (Hear.) They have lost, not only in the number of their supporters, not only in the importance of those who conduct their party and who manage their debates for them, but they have lost also in some thing which is still more important—they have lost in character. (Renewed cheers.) I feel, with Mr. Barnes, that it is not for us to speak of the members of the Government in their individual character. Even with regard to the public characters of many of them I would speak with the highest respect. But when we look at the Government who now occupies the Treasury bench in its corporate cha racter—when we consider how it is made up of men who differ from each other on principles, on funda mental principles, and therefore neutralise each other, and render it impossible for the Government to act with irraness or decision, we see at once why it is that the Government has lost character, and why it has lost the confidence of the country as it has done. (Cheers.) For what great subject is there upon which we can venture to speak of the policy of the P almerstonian G overnment ? Is it reform ? (Loud laughter.) We are all here amongst friends, because otherwise reform is a word which I understand it is not polite to mention in their presence. (Renewed laughter.) But reform was the great card of the liberal party—(hear, hear) .reform Was the great battle-hone upon Ittieh IMPORTANT INFORMATION.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per milk pm., and the short exchange on London Lis 25.20 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is aboutl3.loths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices fromliamburg the price of gold is 4234 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather more than 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Ham- barg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 176} per cent., and the premium on gold is about 0211 per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. a ydnaoeowwnfseaidsyaween7wadeseanat the whole hill- s id e , car rying with little were l a i b vi o n v g e the river.

FEROCITY OF THE SWAN.—Yesterday the pro prietors of Wombwell's menagerie, at present ex hibiting in the grounds of the Crystal Palace, released two fine pelicans with the humane intention of allowing them a swim on the lake as a refresher before the arrival of the visitors. Two of the company's swans, however, whose rights had been thus unceremoniously invaded, made a desperate attack upon then, the encounter commencing with a collision between the " feather-clads," with all sails set, the force of which fairly made each rebound. Singling out the smaller pelican, the two swans belaboured him with their wings and bills with a ferocity and f orm idableness that was truly cut prising. The contest lasted u pwards of 20 minutes, and would, doubtless, have ende whollyu to th pelican but for the timely arrival of a keep er, cceeded, by means of a canoe, in rescuing him with a broken wing and well nigh exhausted, having been held under water, by the joint efforts of the swans, for about 10 minutes. Exas.. perated at losing their victim, the swans then directed their attack on the keeper, and capsized his canoe. GREAT GUNS FOR CRONSTADT.—Eighty irrizzerse, guns are about to be manufactured at M.
